The coin is in an old 2nd generation (late '80's) PCGS holder and is grossly undergraded at MS64.

What do you think Cats? The coin does look better in person then the images, but, lets hear some opinions on this one....

FC57Coins · March 18, 2004 4:54AM

MS63

Bytheway dear - someone stole the wings off her hair

baccaruda · March 18, 2004 4:54AM

Mimimum 66 I'd say.

Numismanic · March 18, 2004 4:55AM

MS64

joecool · March 18, 2004 4:57AM

MS65

baccaruda · March 18, 2004 4:58AM

I see it has the same die crack on the neck I posted here.

MrKelso · March 18, 2004 5:00AM

MS 65

razorface1027 · March 18, 2004 5:00AM

Sweet lookin'! By the pics, it appears to be a frosty 63..

Peaceman · March 18, 2004 5:07AM

1925 are notorious for having a yellow patina... they attribute it to setting the coins out at the mint while some chemicals were present near-by...

I'd call it a high end MS65.... mark in the hair at the eye level, in the tiarra, neck by the "T", mark in the tail feathers and by the feet.... I'd have to look at it to see if it had a shot to go 66.... My gut feeling is that it's in a 66 holder after looking at the other photos below....

Peace $ MS66 and above have a certain "look" to them.... Without holding it it's hard to say but by final answer is ms66......

that's of course if it doesn't have any rub on it....

Steve27 · March 18, 2004 5:07AM

MS65 but no FBL

LucyBop · March 18, 2004 5:12AM

btw, this is a scann'd image, scanners donot capture luster such as a photo may......

Peaceman · March 18, 2004 5:15AM

please describe the coin to us............

RiffRaff1967 · March 18, 2004 5:15AM

I'm going to say ms65, but I have a feeling that the marks I see in the pics are not as bad as they are holding it in front of you - which would take it to a 66.

Really nice coin - awesome eye appeal!

JohnZ · March 18, 2004 5:18AM

Nice coinie Lucy. Is it in one of the old rattlers? If so, I'll give it a 65.

If it's been slabbed recently, maybe 63.

dragon · March 18, 2004 5:19AM

Here are a couple more very good pics that Russ did of the coin for comparison, both Lucy's and Russ' pics are good:

nepbrs44 · March 18, 2004 5:19AM

Very nice Lucy

I would say MS64

Stuart · March 18, 2004 5:22AM

Lucy: I love 1925 Peace Dollars because like the subject of this thread, they sometimes come with knockout luster.

Yours looks like a solid MS-64 (shot 65). I think that it would go even higher if not for the luster breaks on the cheek and in front of Liberty's mouth.

Thanks for sharing a great looking Peace Dollar with us! I'm curious to the certified grade...

Cladiator · March 18, 2004 5:25AM

ms66

Shamika · March 18, 2004 5:33AM

Easy 65. Don't see why it couldn't be 66.

Shamika · March 18, 2004 5:33AM

Watch.

It'll be 61 or something like that.

PQpeace · March 18, 2004 5:35AM

65..maybe a 66

Trooper · March 18, 2004 6:10AM

65 for my guess....

DHeath · March 18, 2004 6:22AM

Looks 66 to me. Based on the second pics, it appears the "marks" are merely disturbances in the luster, and the coin looks superb.

baccaruda · March 18, 2004 6:24AM

it appears the "marks" are merely disturbances in the luster

That's what I'm thinking too. If that's the case there's no way this is less than a 66.

DHeath · March 18, 2004 6:39AM

BTW - I'm a buyer at PCGS price guide 64 money.

Just PM me.

stman · March 18, 2004 6:41AM

Looks like a very nice Peace$ with a nice looking thick original skin. A coin I would like too own.

ksteelheader · March 18, 2004 7:11AM

66 all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jaywalker · March 18, 2004 8:15AM

Solid 64.

The marks on the face and field in front of the face are only superficial.

darktone · March 18, 2004 9:00AM

64 looks frosty but too much chatter in the face and the field in front of the face to go higher. mike

CoinAddict · March 18, 2004 10:45AM

I am going to guess that it is graded MS-66. From the scan it looks like a very clean coin. Very nice coin, Lucy.

Peaceman · March 18, 2004 10:49AM

mmmmmmm

JJacks · March 18, 2004 11:04AM

66?

JJacks

Kingpin · March 18, 2004 11:10AM

I'd have to guess 65, a little too much chatter to go higher,a beauty though.

Kingpin

coinkat · March 18, 2004 11:14AM

65 with a shot at 66

FC57Coins · March 18, 2004 11:17AM

OK - with a better screen pic at home, I'd have to change my grade to 65. I think the luster breaks would keep it from 66 - but what the heck - let's see where it lands

MrKelso · March 18, 2004 8:33PM

So what is it?

mojoman · March 18, 2004 8:48PM

hi, how about ms67 ?????????????????????????????????????????just a guess

LucyBop · March 19, 2004 5:32AM

The coin is in an old 2nd generation (late '80's) PCGS holder and is grossly undergraded at MS64.

Baley · March 19, 2004 5:41AM

The coin is ... grossly undergraded at MS64.

I agree. Anyone can see that it's an MS 65.825, just a small fraction of a point from 66

nice coin Lucy!

stman · March 19, 2004 5:46AM

Or perhaps it was properly graded for the times it was graded in. And all the ones now are overgraded. Either way I like the "Look" of the coin and grade is no concern to me. How Much?

LucyBop · March 19, 2004 5:53AM

stman, for you, I'll need to give it a big ol thumbprint first!

DHeath · March 19, 2004 5:54AM

Dangit Stman, I already have an offer on the table at full retail for the holder grade.

Baley · March 19, 2004 5:56AM

And all the ones now are overgraded

stman · March 19, 2004 6:03AM

Baley, my point being that perhaps grading standards have changed. Is that good or bad? Each person can decide for themselves.

DHeath, I'll beat that 64 price and pay 65 bid price. Oh my.... what is 65 bid price?

LAWMAN · March 19, 2004 6:05AM

Liberty got a lot of scratches on her face and in the big field she is facing. Man, I've got raw AU's with cleaner fields and cheeks. Sorry, but 64 is overgraded.

LucyBop · March 19, 2004 6:11AM

hmmmmm.....

stman · March 19, 2004 6:13AM

You see Lucy? I am offering you the next grade up in price to save you from possibly hurting yourself cracking it out and the expense of it all. I'm only here to help.

dragon · March 19, 2004 6:17AM

stman,

It's overgraded....maybe lawman can hook you up with one of his AU's that doesn't have all those nasty scratches, LOLOL

stman · March 19, 2004 6:30AM

Just thought of something.... I sure hope that thing don't have an "S" mint mark I'm not seeing.
